Dust the pasta machine with flour and pass each piece of dough through the wide flat roller several times. The dough will be a little crumbly the first few times but gather it up and pass it through the rollers until it starts to hold together. Lay dough pieces on a flour dusted surface.

Decrease the roller width a little and pass each piece of dough through a couple of times.

Reduce the roller width again and roll the dough sheet thinner.

Use thin dough sheets to make lasagne or cut into strips for tagliatelle. Dust raw pasta with flour to stop it sticking together.

Put the water and salt into a large saucepan and bring it to a rolling boil before adding the pasta. Cook for 3-8 minutes, depending upon the size and thickness of the pasta.

Thank you so much for this recipe. It is simple and easy. Today I used my new pasta machine for the first time and made ravioli from the sheets of gluten-free pasta. This is the first ravioli I have tasted in 23 years and it was delicious! I served it with your rich tomato pasta sauce which is also great. I kept the trimmings to add to some home-made soup tomorrow. This quantity made enough pasta for 3-4 people so I have frozen the extra to enjoy another day.
